    Description

    SHORT STORY: Give us 5 hours per day help in our house, and helping with events and maybe some help with social media.

    WANTED: hard-working FUN couple or SINGLETON (regardless of origin or orientation) willing to work enthusiastically (and with initiative) to carry out all kids of tasks and chores.

    LONG STORY: Our family lives the oldest, biggest townhouse in a beautiful Spanish village. And we need help! This funky little village is equidistant between the two great main tourist Beach towns of Denia and Javea. We want you to have a fantastic time both with us and while making friends in the community.

    Note: we have a nutty dog and 3 great teen kids. We are busy working parents. We don’t eat meat in our home.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are fully integrated in this fantastic village so we can introduce you to the locals where you can practice your Spanish. And you can practice your English with us at home. We also speak fluent Spanish & Dutch. We live in the pretty church square in the Casa del Senyoret which is steeped in history. We have a welcoming, busy house and we are relaxed and hectic at the same time. The village is tranquil but our house can be busy sometimes as we have lots of friends. As we are busy we need people with GOOD INITIATIVE, responsible and fun to integrate easily with us. We go to bed quite early! We prefer non smokers....or to smoke OUTSIDE the home is OK as we don't want to normalise it in front of the kids. (Mum quit smoking to try to set a better example for the kids) .

    We love fishing. We love paddle boarding. We love snorkeling. Mom loves climbing mountains.... we hope you will join us.

    Helping with keeping the house in order. It is a big old house and needs constant upgrading. DRIVING and collecting "kids" from their activities. Light housework.. Some painting and light DIY. Laundry, dusting, decorating..... And any help with diary management and social media is a great bonus. We usually have some interesting project on the go and we like flexible enthusiastic people to jump in. Music concerts at the house. Theatre events. Charity events. (At the moment we are converting an attic and need help with all aspects of that!).

    MOM loves to keep things tidy and organised so the same mentality would be helpful. She doesn't like a mess,

    What else ...

    It is IMPORTANT to have a drivers license. Very helpful to have your own car. To enjoy the stunning local beaches and glorious mountains and scenery in your free time. Dont worry - We have bicycles if you cannot drive.

    We don’t have strict schedules and we are spontaneous people who keep busy having fun. But Mum/Dad go to bed early as we wake up for work early. But....you can stay up as late as you like! We love surfing, going to the beach, walking and lots of other activities. We are adventurous BUT we are very normal. Our kids enjoy hip hop, basketabll, football, boxing, working out, being with friends. Any inspiration you can give our kids is invaluable. Mum is a singer and has 2 music projects (one is a wedding band). Dad is a boat mechanic.
